IVOR JANKOVIĆ Prapovijesna arheologija Institut za antropologiju Amruševa 8 Pregledniradovi Review HR - 10000 Zagreb Prehistoric archaeology [email protected] UDK/UDC 903:572”632” Primljeno/Recieved: 01. 04. 2004. Prihvaćeno/Accepted: 01. 06. 2004. U radu je iznesen pregled znanstvenih saznanja o populaciji neandertalaca koji uključuje rezul- tate područja arheologije, antropologije i genetike. Osim pregleda znanstvenih saznanja, u radu se daje i povijesni pregled razmišljanja o mjestu neandertalaca unutar evolucijskog razvoja čovjeka kao i uvid u modele koji se najčešće spominju u suvremenoj literaturi. Ključne riječi: neandertalci, evolucija čovjeka, musterijen, paleolitik The paper presents an overview of scientific insights into the Neandertal population, includ- ing results obtained in the fields of archaeology, anthropology and genetics. In addition to this overview, the paper also provides a historical perspective of considerations of the position of the Neandertals within human evolution, as well as a discussion of models that are most frequently mentioned in contemporary literature. Key words: Neandertals, human evolution, Mousterian, Palaeolithic UVOD tu.

THE EFFECTS OF COLD ADAPTATION ON THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEANDERTAL CRANIAL BASE Sarah J. Caldwell 92 Pages August 2014 Neandertals and modern humans possess very different craniofacial shapes. Some recent work has attributed these contrasting shapes specifically to differences in brain development, which are extrapolated to mean differences in cognitive function. However, this may not necessarily be the case. In this paper, it is suggested that a size increase in the cranial base and rapid cranial growth are due not to cognitive differences, but environmental factors, specifically Neandertal adaptation to cold. Adaptation to cold would not only explain the more rapid growth of the Neandertal cranium, but also elongation of the cranial base via elongation of the nasopharynx for maximizing air conditioning capabilities.

    Lambda Alpha Journal Page 118 Volume 49, 2019 New Interpretations of Cranial and Postcranial Material in Neanderthals Amanda Guerrero Key Words: Adaptations, Biological, Homo Neanderthalensis, Human Remains, Traits Amanda Guerrero Department of Anthropology University of La Verne Introduction Homo neanderthalensis, colloquially known as "Neanderthals", were first discovered in 1856 at the Kleine Feldhofer Grotte in the Neander Valley near Düsseldorf, Germany. Neanderthals persisted through multiple glacial-interglacial cycles in mid-late Pleistocene Eurasia (Wroe et al., 2018). Since their discovery, they have continued to puzzle and fascinate scientists due to their uniquely derived traits (Weaver, 2009). Of particular interest is Neanderthal skeletal morphology and its implication to our own evolution. Neanderthals are often described as relatively "short but massive" (Gracia-Martinez et al., 2018), heavy- bodied hominins with wide trunks and short distal limbs in comparison to modem humans. Neanderthals also possessed a wide pelvis (Tompkins & Trinkaus, 1987) and a wide central- lower thorax (Franciscus & Churchill, 2002). Neanderthal proportions mirror contemporary cold-adapted human populations, though comparatively heavier and more muscular (Holliday& Trinkaus, 1991). Additionally, studies have shown Neanderthals had larger brains than contemporary humans with an average cranial capacity of approximately 1300 cc for females and 1600 cc for males (Gunz et al., 2010). However, new insights suggest when body mass is considered, Neanderthals

Bar-Oz3 1Department of Anthropology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, U.S.A. 2Georgian State Museum, Department of Archaeology, 380007 Tbilisi, Georgian Republic 3Department of Anthropology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, U.S.A. The Middle Palaeolithic record of the southern Caucasus documents the persistence of Neanderthal populations in the region until approximately 35,000 years ago. Although research has been conducted within this region for many decades, our understanding of these archaic hominins and their relationship to populations in neighboring regions has suffered from a dearth of well excavated, analyzed, and dated sites. The recent re-excavation, analysis, and dating of the Middle–Upper Palaeolithic rockshelter of Ortvale Klde, located in western Georgia, has lead to a clearer understanding of Late Middle Palaeolithic patterns of lithic reduction, land-use, and mobility. Preliminary analysis of lithic assemblages from this site indicates the persistence of lithic technologies geared toward the production of pointed blanks and retouched tools. Such traditions as well as particular aspects of tool production and modification demonstrate that Neanderthals here shared more technological affinities with their neighbors to the south then they did with those located elsewhere.
